In Response To: Hosting for 100mb video ["Et Tu Brute"] (nitz)


: Since no one else had done it yet, I did an [admittedly crappy] re-encode of
: the "Et Tu Brute" vi-doc. I saw on the news that they'd post
: once a high def version showed up on the web, and since I saw no post, I
: took it upon myself to do it. The 107mb is a step down from the 333 it was
: when I ripped it off the 360 HDD. It's got an abr of about 2000KiB a
: second, in the resolution 1280 x 720 [The same as it came off the HDD]. I
: re-encoded it into an x264 mkv, so it still looks pretty good for as much
: of the filesize as was lost.

: So if anyone wants it, just tell me where I should host it. If not, tell me
: and I'll quietly shut the hell up :]

: nitz++;

Further, I read a little deeper into the news, and noticed the other 720p versions available. [Or 'close to 720'? Seriously, 1248x702? Was that a typo?

Regardless, I'm downloading this 577MiB h.264, just to see the difference between mine and theirs. Because I'm curious if a 470MiB file size difference will make that much of a difference. I'm also curious about the source they got it from. I got mine from my 360, that I downloaded from the marketplace. I'm not sure how much of a different one they could have got... and the fact that the WMP9 version was 478MiB, when the one i got directly from the 360 was _already_ a wmv, and INSIDE the container from the Xbox it was 336MiB.

How do you _gain_ filesize on a re-encode? Baffles my mind.

One final thing: I didn't watermark mine. it's fresh and clean. Apparently these guys have no idea how the scene runs. Don't watermark, intro or outro. an nfo will do just fine. :]

Link is a [crummy jpeg] snapshot from my encode. I'd give you the 3.3mb bmp, but this'll do. :]
